It's not simply a question of height. It is also a question of how quickly that height was obtained.

Far better to land in a farmers field with the wings level than cartwheel over the airport fence.

At a guess, I would say that 1000ft ft per nm from the end of the runway with a minimum of 2000ft and 2nm in no wind could be done.

The minimum would see the aircraft align with the centerline as it hit the runway 300m in.

Must try it.
